Everytime I play frisbee with my dog 'Specks', it takes a war to get the darn thing back. I've tried tapping her nose, beating on the ground below her, but nothing. I eventually resort to wrestling it from her, but I was wondering if there was a better way. Thanks
How do you get a dog to let go of the frisbee?

I found this on a Web site:
The easiest way to break this habit is to teach your dog a release command. This is done by grasping the Frisbee with one hand and grabbing your dog?s jaw just behind the Frisbee and squeezing. It is very important to use a command such as "drop" or "out" every time you do this. When he lets go, praise him like he?s just done the best dog trick of all time.
I haven't tried this, though. My high-energy Labrador Retriever, Lwaxana, is a Frisbee-retainer, and the thing that works best is to tempt her with another attractive toy (she loves squeaky rubber things,) and grab the Frisbee when her jaw goes slack while she contemplates the tantalizing choice!

A hammer, preferably a 28 ounce framing hammer.
At least your dog will go and get it, my dogs just stare in amazement at the wonders of aerodynamics as the frisbee flies by their heads.

Interesting. I guess I haev to try this with both a frisbee and the tennis ball. That's if he actually comes towards me after grabbing one of those things. He'll just run away so that I can give chase... Bahh...
Pull all of the dog's teeth. If that doesn't work just crack it on the nose as hard as you can a couple of times.
J/K
If you show it another frisbee it will drop the first one and go after the new one.

Basically, teach the dog the trick backwards.
The first thing you do is teach the dog to:
snif the frisbee *treat*
bite the frisbee *treat*
drop frisbee *treat*
Look up clicker training and by a kit from Karen Pryor.
I am unaware of any dog participating in the last 5 National Championships that was not taught by this meathod.

acctually, blowing on their nose really works. he was not joking, go try it. dogs hate it for some reason.

You mean dogs hate you blowing in their nose, but will not hesitate to stick their head out the window of a car going 80 MPH?

Maybe dogs consider human breath to be really stinky?

if you fight the dog for it, the dog will assume you are playing and will fight back.
if you do not attempt to pull it out of the dogs mouth, you will have better luck. in fact, you may even want to try pretending you are no longer interested in playing, and the dog may just put it down.
also try to say something when you are doing this so the dog associates a command with putting the frisbee down. (with my dog, the command is "put it down"
best of luck.
